Al-Ayyam (Yemen)
History and profile
Al Ayyam was founded in 1958.[1] The founder was Mohammad Bashraheel. The paper was shut down after South Yemen became independent under a Marxist regime in 1967. Bashraheel's son Hisham resumed publication in 1990 after the unification of North and South Yemen.[2]
The paper's compound in Sanaa had been the subject of an attack by a dozen gunmen in February 2008.[3] Based in Aden,[1] it was the most widely read newspaper in southern Yemen,[4] when it was one of seven newspapers closed in May 2009,[1] with the government accusing the paper of supporting separatism.[4][5] It reappeared in May 2014 after a five-year halt.[6]

gollark: That was not it. Or at least not only it.
gollark: Oh wait. It *should* be sin and not cos. Maybe that's it?
gollark: It's labelled on the top as being about 4 seconds long.
gollark: Hmm, maybe I should try rescaling it, that could work.
